Summary

As a parent raising children in the United States, I realize that I have a lot to learn from other cultures around the world. In today’s episode, I am exploring an international perspective with Indian mother Devishobha Chandramouli. Devishobha is raising her children in India, but is also involved and informed with Western parenting practices. In fact, she has even created an online conference to bring these perspectives together. Devishobha shares more about her experience merging the Eastern and Western worlds of parenting. She tells us about the expectations for kids to learn self-control, busyness, the influence of ancient mindfulness practices, co-sleeping, the postpartum experience, and much more. Despite her calm and gentle voice, Devishobha shares that even she is inclined to lose her cool with her kids sometime, because parenting in any part of the world comes with challenge.

0:00.0	Hi this is episode 146 and today we're going to be talking about bringing together international parenting perspectives.
0:08.0	I have an interview with an Indian mother who is looking to bring together both the Western and Eastern
0:14.0	parenting philosophies to find the best of both worlds.
0:17.0	You are listening to the Simple Families Podcast,
0:21.0	a Q&A-style show that brings you solutions for living well with

0:30.0	Hi there, it's Deney. Thanks for tuning into episode 146. Today we're going to be
0:35.8	exploring an area that I am infinitely curious about that's international
0:39.6	perspectives in parenting. I think that we here in the US tend to have the idea that we know
0:45.5	it all and that our way is the best way. So I'm excited to hear from parents from
0:50.2	different parts of the world. Before we jump into this episode, here's today's sponsor.
0:55.2	Today's sponsor is simple contacts and when I first took this sponsor on last year, I thought to myself
1:01.2	a mail order contact company, this sounds a little boring, but it's proved
1:04.8	to be one of the sponsors that has been the most interesting and most well loved by my audience
1:10.8	members.
1:11.8	Because here's the thing, it's not just a mail-order contact company.
1:15.3	It's incredibly convenient. So the Simple Context app has a vision test built into it. It takes
1:21.2	less than five minutes. So rather than having to make a yearly
1:24.2	appointment to go to the optometrist to get your eyes examined, you can simply
1:28.7	renew your contact lens prescription on the app. The vision test is only $20 and you can do it from the
1:34.1	comfort of your own home. And the prices for the contact lenses are
